CAT HAIKU











Haiku is an honored form of poetry of Japanese origin. Its unrhymed three lines usually contain 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 syllables again in the third line. Although the following do not conform strictly with the tradition of Haiku, some artistic license may be allowed because we're cats. Being cats and doing as cats do, we have taken some liberties 'cause we just want to have fun!



Fat cat spots a rat,
wiggles and does a cat pounce.
Now the rat is flat.
A clean litterbox!
Maybe if I try real hard,
I can go again.
You have a cat toy.
Do you think it is play time?
I must take a nap.
I hear you saying,
"It's time to feed the kitty."
My favorite words.
I find a spider.
You come over and squash it.
I was watching that!
Outside in the yard,
many birds at the feeder,
and ME behind glass.
I spit on my paw,
and wipe the dirt from my face
just like Mom used to.
Birdies in the yard.
When I jump to the window,
they all fly away.
Seeing a squirrel,
I bump into the window.
I meant to do that.
A moth in the air
is worth a chase through the house.
A prize at the end.
Someone broke a vase.
I hope you don't think I did.
Must have been the dog.
You're tying your shoes.
I'm only trying to help.
Can't you be grateful?
If you clip my claws,
I'll take it out on the dog.
Then you'll be sorry.
When my fur is rubbed,
I move my tongue with each stroke,
licking at the air.
What is that I hear?
The computer is dinging.
My butt's on the what?
Noise from the basement.
I stretch long and try to see.
Might be a monster.
Don't put me in that.
I have no desire to take
a trip to the Vet.
I'm on the table,
helping myself to some food.
Uh-oh! Here comes Mom!
Time to take a nap.
Snuggle up real close to me.
I'll purr you to sleep.
Please flush the commode.
I want to watch the water
going down the drain.
It keeps sticking out.
My tongue won't stay in my mouth.
I need bigger lips.
I do my business,
and run through the house like mad.
Get outta my way!
You laughing at me?
The minute you're not looking
I think I'll bite you!
How embarrassing!
To be graceful and refined,
then fall from my perch.
Why am I always
on the wrong side of the door?
Hey! Let me in there!
A bird flew so close
past the window of my house
that I had to duck.
It's five in the morn.
With purrs and whisker tickles,
I wake my Daddy.
I act like a pup,
tagging behind my Daddy
everywhere he goes.
You'd better look out!
There's a strange cat in my yard,
and I'm in fight mode.
I only want you
to pay attention to me
when I want you to.
Reaching out a paw
I catch you by your ankle
as you walk past me.
Yackety-ack-ack!
I talk big to the birdies,
but they don't talk back.
I'm not in the mood
to be picked up and cuddled.
Stop annoying me!
We've grown quite robust.
Mom put us on diet food.
It tastes like chicken!
I was all comfy
in the clean laundry basket
'til Mom made me leave.
Why do you think it's
strange when I dig for water?
I always find it!
You keep telling me,
"The phone cord is not a toy!"
Then why is it fun?
I will not sharpen
my wonderful feline claws
on my human's leg.
I can't find my mouse.
It must be under the couch.
Get it out NEOW!
I puff up my tail
at the cat in the bathroom.
What is a mirror?

The CATS BEHIND it all!
